Sec. 433. [42 U.S.C. 629c](a) Indian
Tribes or Tribal Consortia.—From the
amount reserved pursuant to section 436(b)(3) for any fiscal year, the
Secretary shall allot to each Indian tribe with a plan approved under
this subpart an amount that bears the same ratio to such reserved
amount as the number of children in the Indian tribe bears to the
total number of children in all Indian tribes with State plans so
approved, as determined by the Secretary on the basis of the most
current and reliable information available to the Secretary. If a
consortium of Indian tribes submits a plan approved under this subpart,
the Secretary shall allot to the consortium an amount equal to the
sum of the allotments determined for each Indian tribe that is part
of the consortium.

(b) Territories.—From the amount described in section 436(a) for any fiscal year that remains
after applying section 436(b) for the fiscal year, the Secretary shall allot to each
of the jurisdictions of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the
Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa an amount determined
in the same manner as the allotment to each of such jurisdictions
is determined under section 423.

(1) In general.—From the amount described in section 436(a) for any fiscal year that remains
after applying section 436(b) and subsection (b) of this section for the fiscal year,
the Secretary shall allot to each State (other than an Indian tribe)
which is not specified in subsection (b) of this section an amount
equal to such remaining amount multiplied by the supplemental nutrition
assistance program benefits percentage of the State for the fiscal
year.

(A) In
general.—As used in paragraph (1) of
this subsection, the term “supplemental nutrition assistance
program benefits percentage” means, with respect to a State
and a fiscal year, the average monthly number of children receiving
supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits[116] in the State for months in the 3 fiscal years referred
to in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, as determined from sample
surveys made under section 16(c) of the Food and Nutrition Act of
2008[117], expressed as a percentage of the average monthly number
of children receiving supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits[118] in the States described in such paragraph
(1) for months in such 3 fiscal years, as so determined.

(B) Fiscal
years used in calculation.—For purposes
of the calculation pursuant to subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall
use data for the 3 most recent fiscal years, preceding the fiscal
year for which the State’s allotment is calculated under this
subsection, for which such data are available to the Secretary.

(d) Reallotments.—The amount of any allotment to a State under subsection (a),
(b), or (c) of this section for any fiscal year that the State certifies
to the Secretary will not be required for carrying out the State plan
under section 432 shall be available for reallotment using the allotment methodology
specified in this section. Any amount so reallotted to a State is
deemed part of the allotment of the State under the preceding provisions
of subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this section.

(e) Allotment
of Funds Reserved to Support Monthly Caseworker Visits.—

(1) Territories.—From the amount reserved pursuant to section 436(b)(4)(A) for
any fiscal year, the Secretary shall allot to each jurisdiction specified
in subsection (b) of this section, that has provided to the Secretary
such documentation as may be necessary to verify that the jurisdiction
has complied with section 436(b)(4)(B)(ii)during the fiscal
year, an amount determined in the same manner as the allotment to
each of such jurisdictions is determined under section 423 (without regard
to the initial allotment of $70,000 to each State).

(2) Other
states.—From the amount reserved pursuant
to section 436(b)(4)(A) for any fiscal year that remains after applying paragraph (1) of
this subsection for the fiscal year, the Secretary shall allot to
each State (other than an Indian tribe) not specified in subsection
(b) of this section, that has provided to the Secretary such documentation
as may be necessary to verify that the State has complied with section 436(b)(4)(B)(ii) during the fiscal year, an amount equal to such remaining amount
multiplied by the supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits
percentage of the State (as defined in subsection (c)(2) of this section)
for the fiscal year, except that in applying subsection (c)(2)(A)
of this section, “subsection (e)(2)” shall be substituted
for “such paragraph (1)”.
